Update #1: 25%!
Hi everybody,
I'll keep these updates infrequent so I'm not clogging your inbox.
Just wanted to let you know that we're 5 days in and already 25% of the way towards our goal. Thanks so much to all of you who've plunked down your hard earned cash to make this happen!
And for the disco-lovers, here's a mix of disco re-edits I found in the archives and uploaded today: http://www.mixcloud.com/ChrissyMurderbot/chrissy-murderbot-disco-mix-october-2007/
Thanks so much!

I WILL NAME MY NEXT ALBUM AFTER YOU. I've already got "Women's Studies" pretty much finished (coming Spring 2011), but the follow-up album (scheduled for 2012) will be named after the person who pledges this super-hero big-deal life-saver amount. Just imagine it: "(YOUR NAME HERE): The Album" by Chrissy Murderbot on shelves in record stores around the world, on iTunes / Beatport / Amazon.com, and in album reviews on blogs and in magazines! People will interview me and their first question will be "gosh Chrissy, why does your album have such a curious name?" and I will say "Because this awesome dude (or dudette) helped me out big time and allowed this super-rad music video to exist" and then you can put that up on the wall at your workplace and get laid a lot (it will happen exactly like that). Again, this gift is transferable. I'd be happy to name my album after your kid, your pet, or your significant other. I will NOT name it after your fave celebrity or religious/political leader. (includes all previous rewards)
